Health officials kill proposal to curb mercury dental fillings

Senior U.S. health officials have squelched a Food and Drug Administration proposal that for the first time would have curbed dentists’ use of mercury – one of the planet’s nastiest toxins because it attacks the central nervous system – in treating Americans’ decayed teeth.

It would be interesting to see the studies from both sides. I could see an issue with mercury as it is toxic but I do not know of the studies that show this. I can also see the FDA's point in the disadvantage to the lower class as the filling that I had put in is the "silver" one because you can barely see it in the back tooth I had filled and the cost of the resin was twice as much as the "silver" on and that is with great insurance covering part of it.
